Freedom Scientific Releases JAWS 17
Smart Navigation, Scripting for Web Pages and Web Apps, and Liblouis
Braille Translator
(St. Petersburg, Florida October 29, 2015) Freedom Scientific today
announced the release of version 17 of JAWS® for Windows, the world's premier
screen reading software. Significant new features include:
a.. Smart Navigation™, a more efficient way to interact with complex
web pages and web apps
b.. Domain-specific scripting, bringing the power of JAWS scripting to
the web
c.. Liblouis Braille Translator enhancing usage with Unified English
Braille
Navigating complex web content such as pages often found in banking,
shopping, or corporate sites, is a challenge for anyone using access
technology. Today, JAWS 17 introduces new techniques via the Smart Navigation
feature to help users be more efficient as they access this content.
“The ability to move through tables using just the arrow keys, or to skip
past an entire menu bar with a single down arrow, are just two examples of how
this will benefit users,” says Eric Damery, Vice President of Software Product
Management. “Add the capability to script for products such as SharePoint, and
JAWS further expands the employment opportunities for visually impaired people
worldwide.”
The JAWS 17 upgrade is an SMA release and can be downloaded as either a
32- or 64-bit version from the JAWS downloads web page. DVD shipments to SMA
holders and new product customers will commence on November 2, 2015.
